Computing PMIs, particularly in wireless communications systems having a three-dimensional communications channel
Abstract:
A method for computing precoder matrix indicators (PMIs) in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The wireless communication system includes a base station (eNB) which is operable to communicate with one or more user equipments (UEs), and a set of transmit antennas associated with the eNB that have been partitioned into multiple antenna subsets. The UE(s) are operable to compute and report multiple PMIs for the said multiple antenna subsets to the eNB for the eNB to use in precoding. The method comprises computing a PMI for a given antenna subset using other already-computed PMI(s) for other(s) of the antenna subsets, such that the PMIs reported by the UE to the eNB account for correlation between the antenna subsets.
